Building a Life and Biz On The Road 

What would it take to quit your job, sell everything, and travel the world for six years - with your kid in tow?

In today’s inspiring Mum's Talk episode, I’m joined by Janina Breitling: mother, adventurer, entrepreneur, and founder of the sustainable menstrual product brand Nookees. Together, we dive into her story of leaving behind a stable freelance journalism career to give her son a different kind of education - one built on experience, connection, and a deep respect for the world.

We talk about:

  • How Janina prepared for a global trip with her five-year-old

  • What worldschooling actually looked like in practice

  • Starting a mission-driven product business from a kitchen table in Bali

  • Creating the Nookees Foundation and tackling period poverty across three continents

  • Motherhood, identity, and how to follow your instincts (even when everyone says you’re crazy)

Whether you’ve ever dreamt of leaving it all behind or you just need a dose of bravery and bold motherhood, this one’s for you.
